php artisan websockets:server check this is working or not using call method
if not like this solution then artisan call websockets:server and assign it to variable then check this

I searched but couldn't help much, so this is my current solution

$pusher = Broadcast::pusher(config('broadcasting.connections.pusher'));
$pusher->getChannels();
return true;
